AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Your haiku is a strong one and compliments this artsy woodwork. I love these sorts of things as I can't begin to do something that creative.

Very clever. It's amazing what people can create with wood. I saw a door in Vermont that looked just like Gandolf from Lord of the Rings. Love your kitty too!

Jan said...

Very creative. I've always been fascinated by sculpture of any kind.

Lynn said...

Hi Gemma,
Great piece of art!! I've seen eagles and fish done this way. But never a penguin, he's cute. Have a great day!
